I believe my first yellow infatuation came from Dandelions. The bright cheery color of YELLOW! It might have been the utter excitement my Mom showed when the dandelions appeared in spring. I would be so excited to pick her a bouquet and she in turn loved it. I remember with horror when our neighbor would spray chemicals to kill them. Now years later I sit and look at them. I find them just as enchanting as then. They signal spring is here and the smells of fresh air and the sound of the buzzin bees. The bracelets I used to make for my little sisters out of them, rubbing them on my little brothers nose so it would turn yellow. I guess it was my introduction to nature and color and art. Then as they would die the fairy wishes would blow away with your wishes and grow again. Oh the sweet memories of childhood! I can smell the spring now as it was then. Happy Mothers Day to my inspiration and teacher of beauty. Even a weed is beautiful. Self preservation. Yellow!!!!!!
